“If man does not know how it is that the soul influences the body, then how may he expound and define the questions, How did the infinite, Divine Spirit bring forth this visible, material world? and how does He act upon it? Therefore the sound reason of nations calls for a faith, and demands a revealed religion; and God actually revealed Himself to people…”

(St Sebastian of Jackson,  ‘Preaching’ homily collection, 1899)
